We have had this similar discussion before, this exact discussion is one of the reasons Tsearch2 got pushed into core. Contrib is just a dead zone for the user populous. Most people consider it unsupported *stuff* with no particular purpose (regardless of the real meaning). If you look at contrib in other projects they are always user contributed modules that are cool, but your mileage may vary. Personally, I would like to see contrib completely removed.
